APPEAL: CCAU project aims to enlighten Ukraine's children

The Christmas holiday season - a time when we will be sending each other greetings and gifts - is approaching. Many of us will be thinking about the place of our birth, the homeland of our ancestors, our Ukraine. Is independent Ukraine progressing the way we have envisioned. And, if not, how can we help?

For the sixth year, the Coordinating Committee to Aid Ukraine - U.S.A. (CCAU) is sponsoring trips for children from the southern and eastern regions of Ukraine to celebrate Christmas and Easter in Halychyna. The objective of these trips is to instill national pride and provide an opportunity for these children to reacquaint themselves with Ukrainian traditions not practiced in the southern and eastern regions of the country.

The CCAU's request to you, the Ukrainian family, is to take an active part in this endeavor of raising the consciousness of a new generation. Therefore, instead of mailing Christmas cards and buying expensive presents, consider donating these funds to support this unique cause. All those contributing by November 20 will be included in one general season's greeting.

Please make your checks payable to Coordinating Committee to Aid Ukraine and send them to: CCAU Children's Holiday Fund, 16 Manger Road, West Orange, NJ 07052. All donations are tax-deductible.

For the CCAU Executive Committee: Wolodymyr Wolowodiuk, president; Oksana Trytjak, vice-president for fund-raising; Bohdan Hajduczok, treasurer.
